These have very strong anti cheats and in person is very stringent on no electronics.
replyIts not really a good comparison
You aren’t allowed to use tools to play competitive Chess / Go but that are required for solving CTF.
replyChess banned engines from competition. CTFs can't really do that because you need internet access and tooling to play.
replyRead the article.
replyI read the article. Their chess section makes no sense as in "why this wouldn't work for CTF".
replyBut I don't know enough that's why I asked.
I imagine one could do CTF in public, machines you work on vetted/prepared to some spec, yada yada.
If chess and Go can do it why can't CTF?
That was my question when I wrote "what am I missing here".
